Dermal Filler Aftercare Tips from Our Med Spa
Thinking about getting dermal fillers? At Chester Skin & Wellness in Chester Township, NJ, Dr. Deborah Petrowsky not only delivers precise, natural-looking results—she also provides clear guidance on how to care for your skin afterward. Proper aftercare plays a big role in minimizing side effects and extending the benefits of your treatment.
Here’s what to expect and how to care for your skin after dermal fillers:
-Avoid touching the area: Refrain from rubbing, pressing, or massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours.
-No strenuous activity: Skip the gym, heavy lifting, and intense exercise for the first 24–48 hours to prevent swelling.
-Stay upright: Avoid lying down for at least four hours post-treatment to allow fillers to settle properly.
-Limit sun and heat: Skip tanning beds, saunas, and hot showers for 48 hours, as excess heat can worsen swelling.
-Use cold compresses: Apply gently to minimize bruising or swelling.
-Pause active skincare: Hold off on retinol, acids, or exfoliants for at least two days.
-Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help your skin stay plump and healthy.
-Avoid alcohol: Skip alcohol for 24 hours to reduce the risk of bruising.
Dr. Petrowsky ensures each patient leaves with personalized aftercare instructions tailored to their skin type and treatment area.
